Dec 16 Style Profile: Alex Jones, Little Rock, Arkansas

Today we are featuring Alex Jones, a southern butch queen who works in mental health after completing a double degree in psychology and social work at Southern Arkansas University.

Being raised in the central Arkansas area, Alex spent the majority of his adulthood in Maryland because he felt that the south was a tad bit too constricting, especially when it came to gender norms. He feels that had he never moved, he would have never been empowered enough to live in his truth and dress exactly how he wants.

He feels that in a world conditioned to be one dimensional, being chained down by your fears of what the world may think is an absolute injustice to your overall well being. His advice? Be you like no one is watching.

How do you think your friends would define your style?One word, "SLAY".

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe? Has to be my favorite pair of heels from ShopSyro.com , they're named George.

What’s your biggest style challenge?Finding clothes that compliment my body type. The majority of my clothing are purchased from the female section and it can be a bit challenging when you're extremely broad.
